Grande Prairie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Doctors at The Foot Institute – Grande Prairie specialise in the medical and surgical therapy of the foot and ankle. Foot Institute Doctors invest about 10 years in education, the first 4 years in undergrad studies to receive a Bachelors Degree, and the following four years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to conventional medical school and in point of fact a number of podiatry programmes lie inside these institutions. After obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute carry out a hospital "internship" or residency for another 1 - 3 years.

At the fulfillment of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have received significant medical training with a main focus on complications involving the feet and ankles. Our Doctors are trained to handle complications ranging from commonplace conditions for instance, ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are even more obscure for example clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have comprehensive surgical education which supply them the prior experience necessary to conduct surgical treatment on those problems that are best managed through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors likewise have a comprehensive practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet undergo as we walk, run or carry out other activities. Realizing biomechanics and gait deviations allows a Podiatric doctor to design shoes and orthotics which can bestow pain relief and minimize the risk of a large number of conditions which the feet typically experience.
